On January 5, 2009, Lionsgate announced its intent to purchase TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online for $255 million in cash. Lionsgate closed the transaction on March 2, 2009.[23] The following April, Lionsgate announced plans to revamp the network into a more entertainment-oriented channel, including plans to discontinue the bottom-screen scrolling program listings grid that has been a part of the channel since its inception in late 1981;[24][25][26] this was partly because internet-based TV listings websites, mobile applications and the on-screen interactive program guides (IPGs) built directly into most modern cable and satellite set-top terminals (such as TV Guide's own IPG software, TV Guide Interactive, which is visually similar in its presentation to the channel's pre-2015 listings grid) as well as into digital video recorders like TiVo eliminated the need for a dedicated television listings channel by providing the same information in a speedier manner, and often in much more detail and with greater flexibility. Even so, the channels that were listed in the grid, long after many providers began offering digital cable service, were usually limited to those within their expanded basic tier, with only select channels on its digital service appearing in a separate grid towards the end of the listings cycle. Following the announcement, Mediacom announced that it would be dropping the network;[27] Time Warner Cable also dropped the network from its Texas systems.[28]
I have a Samsung S8 plus. Adaptor failed to work initially. I had to set the USB mode to PTP and it worked perfectly. To set the USB mode go to ---> Settings/Developer Options/USB Configuration. If Developer Options isn't in your settings, then go to the About Phone menu in Settings, then find the "Build number" entry and tap on it seven times. Once you've done that, you'll see a message that says "Developer mode has been turned on."
At the beginning of January 2009, the print edition of TV Guide quietly removed its listings for TV Guide Network (and several other broadcast and cable networks) over what the magazine's management described[21][22] as "space concerns". In actuality, the two entities had been forced apart by their new, individual owners, with promotions for the network ending in the magazine, and vice versa. TV Guide magazine journalists also no longer appeared on TV Guide Network. The top-line "plug" for the network did, however, remain intact on the websites of internet-based listings providers using TV Guide's EPG listings. TV Guide Network's program listings returned to TV Guide magazine in June 2010, with its logo prominently placed within the grids.
Hi , I think I might be interested in this because I'm tired of paying high cost of cable which just went up from 90.00 to 140 in about the last 6 months it just kept going up 10.00 every month, with them saying "its a cost of living increase?!?" , whatever. Anyhow I have done netflix in the passed for movies only though, but I do have some questions if anyone can answer them I would greatly appreciate it.
Ever since I first tried going wireless, I've been unable to bear going back to wired headsets. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a bluetooth headset that isn't crap. I've gone through a lot. Some have terrible battery life, a fraction of what is advertised. Some break. Some stop outputting audio through one side. Some, after a few months of use, stop holding a charge. It seems like several times a year I purchase headsets. Even when just going with the highest-rated ones, they keep letting me down.
If you have a TV in your house -- that is, a screen that incorporates a tuner -- you're part-way to cutting the cord already. An affordable indoor antenna hooked up to your TV will let you watch free TV over-the-air from any channel you receive in your local broadcast area. Antennas cost as little as $10; see our comparison of indoor antennas here.
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
TV executives have also spent billion of dollars acquiring sports rights, which has driven up the price of TV service—and almost no one has bid more aggressively for sports than Disney CEO Robert Iger. Disney, owner of ESPN, is on the hook for $45 billion in sports rights in the coming years. To cover those fixed costs, ESPN charges TV operators about $8 per month per subscriber, making it the most expensive channel and an easy target for critics.
If you want to take advantage of streaming services — Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and so forth — you'll need a way to display them on your TV. If you have a recent TV from a major manufacturer, you may not need to get anything at all. Smart TVs usually have these apps built in, and almost every high-end TV sold within the last two years or so has smart capabilities.
If you find that most of your television diet consists of reruns of old sitcoms and dramas or movies, an on-demand video streaming service will probably meet most of your needs. By this point, services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime video are widely understood and fairly ubiquitous. In fact, as of June 2017, Netflix has more US subscribers than cable TV.
We just bought – and returned – what you refer to as a "networked media device," an LG "wi-fi ready" blu-ray player. Turns out it wasn't what I'd call "wifi ready" since you had to buy a proprietary wireless adapter from LG to get it connected to a wireless LAN. (To be fair, if you don't mind 100′ of CAT6 cable running through your house or drilling a lot of holes and fishing cable, you could hook this thing up that way. But, that's not what we had in mind.) Anyway, it was on sale for $300.
We think it's worth the upgrade to the Hopper though, because along with all the other awesome Hopper features, DISH has integrated Amazon Alexa voice commands into its DVR experience. No longer must you sift through the couch-cushion chasms to find your lost remote. You can simply tell Alexa to turn on This Is Us and cry your eyes out with the rest of us.
Hulu With Live TV ($39.99/mo.): The package varies from region to region, but for the most part this is one of the most conveniently cable-like services out there. It has most of the major basic cable channels — including ESPN and the big cable news outlets (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News) — and some local broadcast channels. The base price also includes everything that standard Hulu has to offer and up to 50 hours of DVR recording of live telecasts. For additional fees, users can eliminate commercials on Hulu shows, expand the DVR storage and add subscriptions to HBO, Cinemax and Showtime.
Even so, no service we've reviewed is incomplete enough to discourage you from using it outright. If a service sounds like it might be a good fit for you, your best bet is to investigate which channels that service offers and see if it falls within your price range. Most of these services give you anywhere from a week to a month to evaluate them before charging you, and none of them require a contract. At worst, you'll be stuck with a service you don't like for a month.
Satellite TV packages from DISH® let you order the services you love, like TV and Internet, in one convenient stop. TV with DISH offers over 330 channels, while satellite and High-Speed Internet from DISH partners give you the speed and data you need to keep your finger on the pulse of the latest trends and commentary. With DISH Network, one call gets you the entertainment you want at a price you can afford.
Some of the live TV services offer Turner Classic Movies as part of the standard package; some put it in one of the pricier tiers. Check the channel packages available in your area, and if you can get one that offers TCM without charging too much, start there, then add Amazon Prime Video and add FilmStruck, which is also strong on foreign classics.
As far as watching shows when they air, if it's a show on one of the cable networks you may or may not get the show a day or two after it airs on a service like Hulu. Otherwise you might need to pay for that particular show on a service like Amazon – which in many cases is still cheaper than paying for cable. Or in some cases you can watch live shows on a service like Sling TV.
Sling is the company that kickstarted the TV streaming category and still has the cheapest offering of the Big 5 (although sports-free options from Philo and AT&T Watch TV are cheaper at $16 and $15 monthly; see below). The main reason Sling can offer such low prices is it carries very few local stations (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC), so many subscribers supplement the service with an antenna. Sling's interface isn't much to look at, but it offers all of the options you need without cluttering the screen. The only real letdown is its arcane live pause and DVR exceptions (you can't record Disney-owned channels like ABC, for example). Its options are myriad, including two base channel lineups (Orange and Blue) and numerous add-ons, so check out Sling TV: Everything you need to know for all the details.
Hauppauge TV tuners are solid, but they are not nearly as flexible as HDHomeRun. For example, you have to buy a specific type of Hauppauge if you want to use it with Xbox One – but you can use HDHomeRun on any platform that has an HDHomeRun app. Additionally, Hauppauge tuners are USB devices and have to be plugged in directly. HDHomeRun tuners connect to your network via WiFi, so you can set them up anywhere in your home.
Note: Several premium cable channels offer standalone monthly subscriptions to their original programming for people who don't subscribe through cable or satellite providers. The most popular of these are HBO Now ($14.99/mo.), Showtime ($10.99/mo.) and Starz ($8.99/mo.). These (and others) are also available as add-on channels to Amazon Prime Video; of those three, only Showtime is cheaper as an add-on ($8.99/mo.).
The Roku is a clever little device, designed to be an easy-to-use, one-stop shop for any streaming service you want—and it does the job well. We tested the top-of-the-line XS model, which is still as tiny and inexpensive as they come, clocking in at only $99. Like the Apple TV, it sits out of the way, unnoticed, and is very easy to use, so even the least tech-savvy friend or family member can fire it up and watch their shows.
Both the EPG Jr. and EPG Sr. allowed cable operators to further customize their operation locally. Among other functions, the listings grid's scrolling speed could be changed and local text-based advertisements could be inserted. Each text-based advertisement could be configured to display as either a "scroll ad" (appearing within the vertically scrolling listings grid between its half-hour cycles)[2] or as a "crawl ad" (appearing within a horizontally scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen).[3] If no advertisements were configured as "crawl ads," the bottom ticker would not be shown on-screen. The on-screen appearances of both the Jr. and Sr. versions of the EPG software differed only slightly, due primarily to differences in text font and extended ASCII graphic glyph character rendering between the underlying Atari and Amiga platforms.[4]
"Paid for an extra Hulu package to watch sports games and some live TV, but it only works on my iPad, not my smart TV or Apple TV. I was watching the Super Bowl on the networks app, and it cut off in the fourth quarter due to 'streaming rights'... on the networks app?? How? What am I paying for? Pretty crappy time to cut me off! I had to scramble with guests at my house to find it on YouTube. I am frustrated with paying extra but then the options are still so limited." ― Ashley Ryan Larrabee
For much of 2015, graduate students at Columbia School of Journalism took part in the RT Watch project, monitoring RT's (US) output. Casey Michel, who worked on the project, wrote "RT ignores the inherent traits of journalism—checking sources, relaying facts, attempting honest reportage" and "you'll find 'experts' lacking in expertise, conspiracy theories without backing, and, from time to time, outright fabrication for the sake of pushing a pro-Kremlin line".[193][194] The results were compiled in a Tumblr blog.[195]
Installed outside on my existing tv tower. I live in Ohio between Cleveland and Toledo. Toledo towers are 40-50 miles to the west and Cleveland towers are 50-60 miles to the east. My wife is originally from the Cleveland area and wanted to have the ability to receive the Cleveland channels. Although this antenna is multidirectional, I mounted it facing east (towards Cleveland). It came with enough cable to run down tv tower into my basement. I then unhooked the direct cable from the splitter that runs to 3 tv's. Each tv had a dvr so I also unhooked each extra cable to those. I then turned on each tv and did the channel search. I get a total of 53 channels.
You've voted on your favorites before—and many of you voted for one of these five—but we decided to test all five for ourselves and see what they can do. Each device has its own niche and advantages, but they all aim to serve your movies and TV shows to you without the need for a cable subscription or library of discs. Here's a quick rundown of what each box supports:
You don't need to put together an extremely detailed accounting of this right from the get-go, but it's helpful to keep what you want in mind as we examine the services and devices that promise to deliver it. All of the cord cutting world's services and devices are setting out to solve certain problems and deliver on certain promises. You should have at least a vague idea of whether you care about the problems they address or should be excited by the promises they make!
It could be true that choosing one of these options won't get you all of shows you could get with cable. However, if you truly want to get rid of cable, knowing what some of the options are can help you choose the BEST one. Then you can make the decision of whether or not it is worth it to spend the additional money to get the extra one or two channels through cable OR sacrifice one or two shows to save a BUNCH of money. It just depends your priorities.
Sling TV offers two base channel monthly packages: Sling Orange ($25) and Sling Blue ($25). Sling Orange offers popular channels like ESPN, but is limited to a single stream — meaning subscribers can only view on one device at a time. Sling Blue offers many of the same channels as Orange along with a whole lot more, but is also missing some key channels, ESPN among them. On the flip side, Sling Blue offers NFL RedZone as part of the Sports Extra add-on package, a must-have channel for NFL fans. Viewers can sign up for both packages and get a discount, bringing the total to $40 per month.
I have a Fire TV box in the house. I had an extra computer monitor, so I thought I would use the Fire Stick to make it smart. I read a few horror stories about these refurbished units, but I have used refurbs before with no problem, so I thought I'd give it another go. Absolutely perfect. Plugged it in to my only HDMI port and fired it up. Updated, came back on with no problems. I bought an HDMI signal extractor so I could get "audio out" to a little amplifier and speaker set I have out in the garage. In case I need to watch a Youtube video to help me through a vehicle problem, I don't have to go inside to the tv or watch on my tablet. This really allowed me to get a 'no initial cost' tv out to the garage, and turn a ... full review
I have been using "No subscription required" for three months. It's amazing to watch brand new movies for nothing. On the down side of it, I have lost Microsoft xp in the process. I use Linux on the other side so, I have been doing all my email and all with Linux. I don't know whether "No subscription required" is safe or not. I am about to take my computer in for repair obviously and, I was told it might be because of this site. That would be a shame. Most of the movies are first run. But most of all, they are for free! I guess something has to give afterall.

Sony PS4 (starting at $299.99) / Microsoft XBox ($299 to $499): One of the biggest unexpected players in this space has been the major video game console companies. The Sony PS4 and Xbox One X are state-of-the-art in terms of their streaming capabilities, and they're even creating their own services that attempt to serve the same functions as traditional cable TV. (More on that later.) The Xbox One S, Microsoft's previous model, was still for sale as of August 2018, at $200 less than the One X. Click here to compare the two on the Xbox website.
You might be able to quit cable completely, moving to a mixture of streaming services and paid downloads. Or you might be able to reduce your monthly fees by replacing expensive rental equipment with a streaming box and free apps. Alternatively, you could stick with cable or satellite but spend less by figuring out what you really need. It's easier than ever to watch the content you want without being stuck in an expensive, long-term contract.
A few years after Prevue Channel completed its transition to TV Guide Channel, the programming it featured changed drastically. Full-length shows were added, moving away from the typical model of showing television previews and other information. Starting in 2005, Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa Rivers began providing coverage for televised awards ceremonies such as the Emmy Awards and the Academy Awards. In 2007, the mother-daughter duo were unceremoniously dropped by TV Guide Channel in favor of actress/host Lisa Rinna. Later, in 2007, Rinna was joined by fellow Dancing with the Stars alumnus (and former N*SYNC member) Joey Fatone during awards coverage. On July 29, 2009, TV Guide announced that Rinna and Fatone had been replaced by the hosts of the channel's entertainment news program Hollywood 411, Chris Harrison (host of The Bachelor) and Carrie Ann Inaba (who serves as a judge on Dancing with the Stars).
The Sling TV local channel offering is dependent on your level of service, your geographic location, and Sling TV's contractual and other rights to distribute local channels.  Not all local channels may be purchased from Sling TV today, and some local channel content may include blackout restrictions. Explore our channels and discover what service you need to receive them here.
Includes: This offering from the No. 1 online video network includes the broadcast networks, cable channels from Disney/ABC, NBCUniversal, Fox, AMC and Turner Broadcasting. Missing are Viacom (Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central), Discovery (Discovery Channel, Animal Planet) and PBS. However, the workaround here is that these networks put lots of clips from their shows on the YouTube website, but you won't be able to see the entire shows.
Comcast Availability: The Xfinity service area is within the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
Newsy: The nice thing about Newsy's TV app is how it immediately launches into a brief rundown of the latest top stories. You're then free to peruse the rest of the Newsy app, which includes a live news feed and an assortment of clips, all explaining the news with a bit of useful context thrown in. Available on: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast
3/22/16 UPDATE: It's been one month, and I'm still discovering little things. Quite by accident, while viewing a live channel, I pressed the pause button, which froze the picture. On hitting play, the show started from the very beginning, and I noticed "Time Shifting" appear on the screen. I haven't duplicated this, but I believe this is how you may start a live show from the beginning, should you tune in a bit late.

this is rediculous. Use your hdtv as your computer monitor. All you have to do is get an hdmi cable plug it from the computer to the hdtv. then watch hulu on the big screen ,.This is ehat I've been doing for years. Honestl;y if you find yourself a good private torrent tracker you can download any tv show you want in full hd without commercials… i don't mind being unethical. the cable company is.
The only real downside of the Roku is that it can be a little slow from time to time. The interface, while easy to use, isn't nearly as fluid as devices like the Apple TV. Plus, the remote (at least the one for the XS model) is really, truly awful. It feels more like a Wiimote than a TV remote, which is fine when you're playing games on the Roku, but it just seems big and clunky when you're using it for TV. Overall, though, the Roku is a killer device for streaming content, and its easy enough for nearly anyone to use.
The channel selection is pretty extensive—but far from everything. You won't find CBS on this service, naturally. But premium channels are available as add-ons; in fact, some of what you'd see on basic cable—like SyFy, USA, Fox and NBC—are only available to you on Sling TV by paying a bit more for the Sling Blue package for $25 per month. Then there are more "Lifestyle Extra" add on packages to get other channels you may want; those usually add an extra $5 per month to the price. Like with any of the live TV stream services, check the channel offerings thoroughly before you subscribe to make sure they have what you want.
With HBO Now, however, the need for a pilfered password is removed. It's the only option if you don't have someone from whom to pilfer. Anyone with internet and supported hardware can subscribe and watch original HBO programming like GoT, Divorce, Big Little Lies, Insecure, Westworld, Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Silicon Valley, plus the entire back catalog of shows: The Sopranos and The Wire forever! Try it free for an entire month.
Me and my fiance has got our very own first home together. We are trying to manage our bills and trying to find some way we can be able to get a lot of shows and full movies cheap. Looking to watch teen wolf shows, stuff like that then we also would like to have full christmas, scary, and more kind of movies. I dont know much about any of them so really looking for some good advice. Please let me know what kind would probably be the cheapest and best for us. Thanks!
By the early 1990s, United Video began encouraging cable systems still using either the full- or split-screen versions of the Amiga 1000-based EPG Sr. to upgrade to the Amiga 2000-based Prevue Guide. Active support for the Amiga 1000-based EPG Sr. installations was discontinued in 1993. Like the Amiga 1000-based EPG Sr., Prevue Guide also ran from bootable 3½ diskettes, and its locally customizable features remained configurable only from the local keyboard, subjecting viewers to the same on-screen maintenance-related interruptions by local cable company employees as before[9] (silent remote administration of locally customizable features would not be added until the "yellow grid" appeared shortly after the beginning of the TV Guide Channel era, when the Amiga platform was fully abandoned). To support Prevue Guide's new, satellite-delivered video and audio, each Amiga 2000 featured a UV Corp. UVGEN video/genlock card for the satellite feed's video and a Zephyrus Electronics Ltd model 100 rev. C demodulator/switching ISA card for manipulating the feed's audio. Also included were a Zephyrus Electronics Ltd. model 101 rev. C demodulator ISA card for the WGN data stream, and a Great Valley Products Zorro II A2000 HC+8 Series II card (used only for 2 MB of Fast RAM with SCSI disabled).[10] The 101C fed demodulated listings data at 2400 baud from a DE9 RS232 serial connector on its backpanel to the Amiga's stock DB25 RS232 serial port via a short cable. The 101C also featured connection terminals for contact closure triggering of external cable system video playback equipment.
The answer to that will depend on what you're specifically looking for from television. If your answer is "I want it all," then honestly, you may be better off sticking with cable or satellite, because getting it "all" piecemeal will likely be prohibitively expensive. But if you have particular areas of interest, cord-cutting is definitely feasible and probably cheaper. (More advice on how to cut your bill without fully cutting the cord can be found in this guide from Wirecutter.)
For example, Russia Today broadcast stories about microchips being implanted into office workers in EU to make them more "submissive"; about "majority" of Europeans supporting Russian annexation of Crimea; EU preparing "a form of genocide" against Russians; in Germany it falsely reported about a kidnapping of a Russian girl; that "NATO planned to store nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe"; that Hillary Clinton fell ill; it has also on many occasions misrepresented or invented statements from European leaders.[219][unreliable source?][220][unreliable source?][221][222][text–source integrity?] In response to accusations of spreading fake news RT started its own FakeCheck project. The Poynter Institute conducted a content analysis of FakeCheck and concluded it "mixes some legitimate debunks with other scantily sourced or dubiously framed 'fact checks.'"[223]
Currently, you can try DIRECTV NOW free for 7 days. I find the best option to be their "Live a Little" package. It is priced at $40 per month and contains Fox News, CNN, Nickelodeon, MSNBC, Hallmark Channel, ESPN, Disney, HGTV, USA, ID, TNT, Food, TBS, History, Discovery, Disney Jr, TV Land, Nick Jr, AMC, FX, FXX, Bravo, Lifetime, A&E, Animal Planet, BBC America, Bloomberg, BET, Cartoon Network, CMT, CNBC, Comedy Central, Disney XD, E!, ESPN2, Fox Business, FS1, Galavision, HLN, MTV, MTV2, Paramount Network, Syfy, TCM, TLC, Univision, VH1, and more
YouTube TV has been rolled out methodically, market-by-market, but the slow-and-steady approach has helped it offer a really robust product to those in its range. YouTube TV is pretty widely available now, so it's worth checking it out and seeing if you can use YouTube TV to watch live local TV without cable. For those in the right markets, YouTube TV could be a way to watch local feeds of ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. YouTube TV costs $40 per month once your free trial is up (and you can sign up for that free trial via the link below).
4. Consult cord-cutting websites. Several free websites tell you where and how you can watch your favorite shows without a cable connection. Untangle.tv inquires about all of your viewing habits and then recommends the hardware and software you need. (Just keep in mind that it's run by an antenna manufacturer that recommends its own antennas.) Fan.tv and JustWatch.com allow you to search for one show at a time and see all of the ways you can watch that program without cable. You can also try The Post's own TV bundling tool here.
The $99 Apple TV is a tiny little device that fits anywhere in your living room. The remote is very basic, but extremely easy to use—something a lot of living room remotes lack these days. It feels very solid, and the buttons respond nicely, making the whole product pleasant to use. Setup is a snap: just plug it in, link it up with your iTunes library and Apple ID, and you're ready to go. Typing in your credentials is kind of annoying due to the lack of keyboard. I wish I could set up things like Netflix and Hulu in iTunes from my computer, but for now you'll have to trudge through the remote-driven setup.
You're right. Cable TV and satellite TV costs have increased over the years and it's out of reach for people who can't afford it. Also, if you're busy and don't watch too much TV it doesn't make sense to pay more than you should for the service. However, all is not lost. There're many good deals out there. So do your research and the math before cutting the cord. To highlight the same, I read an article on how much to pay for cable TV. Here's the link: blog.localcabledeals.com/2019/01/04/how-much-should-i-be-paying-for-cable-tv. Do have a read.
Spectrum cable TV packages enable you to watch more quality TV with less payout. Your subscriptions to bundle packages are not just about the number of channels, but the significant FREE HD. The on-screen picture is so realistic and immersive that you experience 3D cinematic picture at home. The Spectrum cable prices also provide access to TV App and TV on-the-go. Whether your home or on-the-go, Spectrum TV™ App gives you access to a complete line of up to 10,000+ On Demand TV shows and movies - on your mobile or home screen. There's always something more for someone of every taste. Get yourself hooked to one of the Spectrum cable plans and find the difference!
You can watch most of your favorite network shows by simply streaming them directly from the networks' web sites. They're often available a few hours after they air, and regularly have additional goodies like behind-the-scenes footage or teasers for upcoming episodes. In addition to official network sites, more and more useful tools are popping up every day to help you get your TV fix online.
Direct TV Now is a streaming service from AT&T that offers live TV programming over the Internet. It gives you access to over 60 live channels for $35 per month. This includes popular stations, such as CNN, the Hallmark Channel, ESPN, the Disney Channel, HGTV, TBS, Discovery, Bravo, Animal Planet and Bloomberg, among many others. But you can also choose to add HBO, Starz or Showtime for an extra $5 to $8 per month.
Netflix – The oldest major SVOD service is still the one to beat. Netflix offers movies and TV shows from all different studios, but it has helped lead the charge in original content, too. Thanks to Netflix and its competitors, asking how to watch TV without cable makes less sense every year – if the best shows aren't on cable, then maybe the question should be how you'd ever watch decent TV with cable!

Emilie and Harriet
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." ― Abraham Lincoln
Birthdate: 2010 Arrival date: 31st July 2013
Harriet & Emilie were delivered, with the rest of their flock, to a sale yard in NSW, where their fate was to be determined.
The group of ladies were delivered, unloaded into unfamiliar yards with unfamiliar people and dogs making loud noises. Confused and frightened, they huddled with their mates.
We were able to save Harriet & Emilie but like thousands of her brothers and sisters every day in Australia, the rest of her flock weren't so lucky. They were purchased by 'the meat man" and faced another long and frightening journey to their grisly fate.
What makes the story even more horrible is that most of their flock are pregnant, as heartbreaking as it is to see any animal frightened and sentenced to death, there is something even worse about seeing a mother carrying her child in the same position when you just know she wants to protect herself and her baby.
Whilst people will occasionally consider the suffering animals endure at the slaughterhouse, it's not often considered the stress and fear they endure on their way there, via the transport trucks and sale-yards.
Harriet was named after Harriet Tubman, an amazing lady who was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the American Civil War. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made more than nineteen missions to rescue more than 300 slaves using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era struggled for women's suffrage.
Emilie was named after Emilie Schindler, Emilie was a Sudetenland-German born woman who, with her husband Oskar Schindler, helped to save the lives of 1,200 to 1,700 Jewish people during World War II. Oskar Schindler, a Sudeten German industrialist, created the now-famous list of Schindler's Jews by employing them in his enamelware and ammunition's factories, providing them immunity from the Nazis.
Harriet and Emilie will live out their days on Little Oak Sanctuary, free, safe, loved, and sharing the stories of their flock, and all the others across the country.

Q: How can I find the smallest difference between two angles around a point? Given a 2D circle with 2 angles in the range -PI -> PI around a coordinate, what is the value of the smallest angle between them?
Taking into account that the difference between PI and -PI is not 2 PI but zero.
An Example:
Imagine a circle, with 2 lines coming out from the center, there are 2 angles between those lines, the angle they make on the inside aka the smaller angle, and the angle they make on the outside, aka the bigger angle.
Both angles when added up make a full circle. Given that each angle can fit within a certain range, what is the smaller angles value, taking into account the rollover

A: For UnityEngine users, the easy way is just to use Mathf.DeltaAngle.

A: If your two angles are x and y, then one of the angles between them is abs(x - y). The other angle is (2 * PI) - abs(x - y). So the value of the smallest of the 2 angles is:
min((2 * PI) - abs(x - y), abs(x - y))

This gives you the absolute value of the angle, and it assumes the inputs are normalized (ie: within the range [0, 2π)).
If you want to preserve the sign (ie: direction) of the angle and also accept angles outside the range [0, 2π) you can generalize the above. Here's Python code for the generalized version:
PI = math.pi
TAU = 2*PI
def smallestSignedAngleBetween(x, y):
    a = (x - y) % TAU
    b = (y - x) % TAU
    return -a if a < b else b

Note that the % operator does not behave the same in all languages, particularly when negative values are involved, so if porting some sign adjustments may be necessary.

A: Arithmetical (as opposed to algorithmic) solution:
angle = Pi - abs(abs(a1 - a2) - Pi);

A: This gives a signed angle for any angles:
a = targetA - sourceA
a = (a + 180) % 360 - 180

Beware in many languages the modulo operation returns a value with the same sign as the dividend (like C, C++, C#, JavaScript, full list here). This requires a custom mod function like so:
mod = (a, n) -> a - floor(a/n) * n

Or so:
mod = (a, n) -> (a % n + n) % n

If angles are within [-180, 180] this also works:
a = targetA - sourceA
a += (a>180) ? -360 : (a<-180) ? 360 : 0

In a more verbose way:
a = targetA - sourceA
a -= 360 if a > 180
a += 360 if a < -180

A: I absolutely love Peter B's answer above, but if you need a dead simple approach that produces the same results, here it is:

function absAngle(a) {
  // this yields correct counter-clock-wise numbers, like 350deg for -370
  return (360 + (a % 360)) % 360;
}

function angleDelta(a, b) {
  // https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/4472
  let delta = Math.abs(absAngle(a) - absAngle(b));
  let sign = absAngle(a) > absAngle(b) || delta >= 180 ? -1 : 1;
  return (180 - Math.abs(delta - 180)) * sign;
}

// sample output
for (let angle = -370; angle <= 370; angle+=20) {
  let testAngle = 10;
  console.log(testAngle, "->", angle, "=", angleDelta(testAngle, angle));
}

One thing to note is that I deliberately flipped the sign: counter-clockwise deltas are negative, and clockwise ones are positive

A: x is the target angle. y is the source or starting angle:
atan2(sin(x-y), cos(x-y))

It returns the signed delta angle. Note that depending on your API the order of the parameters for the atan2() function might be different.

A: An efficient code in C++ that works for any angle and in both: radians and degrees is:
inline double getAbsoluteDiff2Angles(const double x, const double y, const double c)
{
    // c can be PI (for radians) or 180.0 (for degrees);
    return c - fabs(fmod(fabs(x - y), 2*c) - c);
}

See it working here:
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sbgxyfchjr
For signed angle:
return fmod(fabs(x - y) + c, 2*c) - c;
In some other programming languages where mod of negative numbers are positive, the inner abs can be eliminated.

A: I rise to the challenge of providing the signed answer:
def f(x,y):
  import math
  return min(y-x, y-x+2*math.pi, y-x-2*math.pi, key=abs)

A: There is no need to compute trigonometric functions. The simple code in C language is:
#include <math.h>
#define PIV2 M_PI+M_PI
#define C360 360.0000000000000000000
double difangrad(double x, double y)
{
double arg;

arg = fmod(y-x, PIV2);
if (arg < 0 )  arg  = arg + PIV2;
if (arg > M_PI) arg  = arg - PIV2;

return (-arg);
}
double difangdeg(double x, double y)
{
double arg;
arg = fmod(y-x, C360);
if (arg < 0 )  arg  = arg + C360;
if (arg > 180) arg  = arg - C360;
return (-arg);
}

let dif = a - b , in radians
dif = difangrad(a,b);

let dif = a - b , in degrees
dif = difangdeg(a,b);

difangdeg(180.000000 , -180.000000) = 0.000000
difangdeg(-180.000000 , 180.000000) = -0.000000
difangdeg(359.000000 , 1.000000) = -2.000000
difangdeg(1.000000 , 359.000000) = 2.000000

No sin, no cos, no tan,.... only geometry!!!!

A: A simple method, which I use in C++ is:
double deltaOrientation = angle1 - angle2;
double delta =  remainder(deltaOrientation, 2*M_PI);

SINGAPORE - Cool and calm on the track, Nico Rosberg showed the warm side of his personality when he met lucky Straits Times readers and staff from financial services company UBS at the latter's office at Raffles Quay on Wednesday (Sept 14) evening.
The Mercedes Formula One ace, currently second in the drivers' championship on 248 points, met 10 readers, who had won a contest jointly organised by ST and UBS, and 10 staff members for a meet and greet session.
And the 31-year-old drew cheers and applause when he gave special mention to Singaporean swimmer Joseph Schooling, whose 100m butterfly gold medal in Rio de Janeiro was the Republic's first ever.

"Singapore... awesome result, that was incredible, beating the legend!" he said with a wide smile, referring to Schooling pipping Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian, to first place in the American's final individual race at the Olympics.
"That was wow... you must be very proud. That's really an incredible story. What an amazing job he did and he destroyed them, he was on his own. It was really impressive and I was watching that."
But the German, who has never won the Singapore Grand Prix, is keen not to put his name forward as one of the race favourites here.
Citing the Marina Bay Street Circuit' 61 punishing laps as the main reason why the powerful Silver Arrows struggle in the twisting streets, he said: "Singapore is very unusual, last year we got destroyed by Red Bull and Ferrari. They were 1.5secs quicker during qualifying and it's huge. You just can't change like that overnight.
"It's not the easiest weekend but it is an amazing event. I don't like the circuit because it is one of the toughest races of the year. I feel horrible from all the sweating... losing up to 4kg in two hours."

Q: ImageView not showing shadow I am tring to put shadow on an UIImageview in the below manner:
imageView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor purpleColor].CGColor;
imageView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
imageView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
imageView.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0;
imageView.clipsToBounds = NO;

But when the UIImageview no image or background color as clear color shadow does not show.
I have even tried to put transparent image, but it still it did not show. Please help.

A: If the image view doesn't contain anything, there is nothing to make a shadow of. What you can do in this case is define an explicit shadow rect, rather than using the image contents:
CGPathRef shadowPath = CGPathCreateWithRect(imageView.bounds, NULL);
imageView.layer.shadowPath = shadowPath;
CGPathRelease(shadowPath);

In fact when it comes to adding shadows in general, this technique can offer significant performance gains because the shadow doesn't need to be calculated dynamically from the layer contents. You can use this technique to improve scrolling performance, as an example. Apple mentions this in one of their WWDC videos.

A: If you are wanting a shadow with out an image then go for Mike Weller's solution of the explicit shadow rect, I will be honest I like that answer better then mine but as an alternative you could try setting maskToBOunds to NO and adding a shadowPath like:
 // Set your basic shadow properties.
 imageView.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor purpleColor] CGColor];
 imageView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0f;
 imageView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1.0f);
 imageView.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0;

 // Unmask from bounds
 imageView.layer.masksToBounds = NO;

 // Create a UIBezierPath
 UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:imageView.bounds];

 // Set the UIBezierPath (path) to the shadowPath
 imageView.layer.shadowPath = [path CGPath];

Be pre-warned this can affect performance if used on a lot of things, but if used on one or two things I have only ever notices a smaller if any performance hit.
But like I say I like Mike Weller's solution I like it so much I might change so code myself. I am only offering an alternative.


Traffic is building on a major Essex commuter road after a serious car and motorbike crash shut a tunnel on the A406 North Circular.
It is understood that a motorbike and a car were involved in a crash shortly before 10.30am this morning (Monday, October 1) on the A406 Fore Street Tunnel at the A1010 Fore Street.
The tunnel has been closed to allow emergency services and highways officers to head to the crash scene.
There is currently no access to the tunnel, although some traffic is currently trapped inside the tunnel immediately behind the crash scene.

Draft government proposal for family leave reform completed
Ministry of Economic Affairs and EmploymentMinistry of Education and CultureMinistry of Social Affairs and Health
Publication date 16.2.2021 10.30
The Government has completed and published its draft proposal for the family leave reform. The draft proposal will be circulated for comments between 19 February and 2 April 2021.
"The family leave reform is, first and foremost, about promoting the interests of the child. The new family leave model will treat every child equally, irrespective of the type of the family. It would encourage families to share childcare responsibilities more equally, thus giving both parents a good start for building a close relationship with their child," says Minister of Social Affairs and Health Aino-Kaisa Pekonen.
The Government has made specifications to the model of daily allowance days, giving each parent a quota of 160 daily allowance days (There are six daily allowance days per week). In all, parental allowance would be paid for 12.8 months per child. Parents would be allowed to transfer up to 63 daily allowance days of their quota to the other parent. For the final stage of pregnancy, there would be a pregnancy allowance of 40 daily allowance days. This would mean that all in all, daily allowance days would amount to more than 14 months. Single parents would have the right to use the parental allowance quotas of both parents. Twins, triplets and other multiple-birth children would form the only exception to this model — the quota of daily allowance days for their parents would increase by 78 daily allowance days per second child and every child thereafter.
Under the new model of family leave, parents could use daily allowance days until the child reaches the age of two. Daily allowance days could be used in several periods. Only pregnancy allowance days would have to be used in a single continuous period and started 14–30 days before the estimated due date. All parents who have custody of their child would have an equal right to daily allowance regardless of whether they are biological or adoptive, custodial or non-custodial and regardless of the gender of the parent.
As a result of the reform, the total number of family leave days would increase slightly from the current level. Family leaves now consist of the mother's maternal allowance period (105 working days or approximately 4.2 months) which starts before the estimated due date , the father's paternal allowance period (54 working days or approximately 9 weeks) and the parental allowance period which may be taken by one of the parents or shared between the parents (158 working days or approximately 6.3 months).
Investment in parenthood and wellbeing of families and children
The aim of the reform is to encourage parents for a more balanced use of family leaves. This would mean above all that fathers would use their right to family leaves more than they do at present. If this objective was reached, the overall costs of family leaves to society would increase together with the total number of daily allowance days used by fathers.
"We will implement a family leave reform that supports the wellbeing of families. The reform will be an investment. It is about the income of families at an important stage of their lives, " says Minister Pekonen.
Towards a more equal working life
The reform would implement both the objectives of the Government Programme and the changes resulting from the EU's Work-life Balance Directive. These changes would aim to promote gender equality in working life and facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life.
"Gender equality in working life is influenced not only by laws and regulations but also by attitudes. We want to encourage fathers to take more family leave than they do at present. A more equal sharing of family leaves between both parents would benefit many families and the whole society as equality progresses," says Minister of Employment Tuula Haatainen.
The key amendments to the Employment Contracts Act are related, for example, to the names of family leaves and periods in which parental leave could be taken. As a new element, the reform would introduce the right to carers' leave, which is based on the Work-life Balance Directive. It is intended for situations where, for example, a relative needs help suddenly. Each worker would have the right to take unpaid carers' leave for up to five days per year.
Reform would be taken into account in early childhood education and care
In future, the right to early childhood education and care would start at the beginning of the calendar month when the child turns nine months. The right to the same early childhood education and care place would be maintained when the child stays at home with the parent during the parental leave and does not attend early childhood education and care for that reason. The requirement for this would be that the period of absence lasts without interruption for a maximum of 13 weeks and the early childhood education and care place has been informed of the period of absence beforehand. By amending the Act on Client Fees in Early Childhood Education and Care, it would be possible to make sure that no client fees would be charged for this period.
"In future, children would maintain the right to same early childhood education and care place that they attended before, even if their parents decided to use their family leaves more flexibly. Continuous and safe relationships are important preconditions for the development and wellbeing of children, and this will also be ensured as part of the family leave reform," says Minister of Education Jussi Saramo.
Reform prepared through cooperation
A working group led by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health prepared the family leave reform, and a working group led by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment was responsible for the preparations related to the Employment Contracts Act. The working group of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health included representatives not only from the relevant ministries and agencies but also from labour market organisations. The working group carried out its work within the framework of the Government Programme. It was not, however, able to reach full consensus on all issues.

Polyamorous and Open Relationships
Polyamory is a type of open or non-monogamous relationship that follows certain guidelines. Polyamory specifically refers to people who have multiple romantic relationships at the same time. It does not mean any type of open relationship that may include more casual sexual partners. These relationships are no less psychologically healthy or happy than traditional monogamous ones and may positively affect them. In principle, it is healthy, just as any intimate relationship .
The goal of therapy is to find an expression of gender that feels most genuine and authentic for the client, given their own sociocultural and geographic contexts. During this exploration process, therapists often assist clients in developing social connections and finding community.
For lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersexed (LGBTI) people, coming out is the process of understanding, accepting, and valuing both one's sexual orientation and one's sexual identity. Coming out includes both exploring one's identity and sharing that identity with others. It also involves coping with social responses and attitudes toward LGBTI people.
Holistic therapy is a type of therapy that address the "whole" person. This kind of therapy integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. Its goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient's life.Jan 25, 2010

This morning, Al Massae daily has published an official fax that was sent by the Royal Federation of Moroccan Football (FRMF), which shows that Adel Taarabt was indeed summoned by Badou Zaki to join the Atlas Lions' training camp in Faro, Portugal.
This fax has been sent by the FRMF to the AC Milan headquarters on the 5th of May.
In a recent interview that the Moroccan International granted to Hesport.com, Hespress's sport outlet, the AC Milan star declared that he was never called by badou Zaki and that a fax should has been sent to the AC Milan headquarters.
This copy of the fax contradicts the words of Taarabt and supports Mr. Zaki's version, which states that the player never answered when called upon.

Meet the Christian Minorities of the Middle East
Lucia De Stefani
During a four-year journey throughout the Middle East – one that placed photographer Linda Dorigo and journalist Andrea Milluzzi on the trail of Christian minorities in countries where Christianity originated and took root – the two reporters, often against their will, adopted what might be considered a theatrical disguise: they were welcomed as academic researchers in Iran, confused for a newlywed couple in Syria, and even referred to as a priest and nun in Gaza.
This speaks for only a fraction of the adventures that marked their extensive "pilgrimage" on the trail of secluded Christian minorities, as the reporters sought them out in the capital cities of Muslim countries such as Damascus, or in remote Assyrian towns like Qaraqosh, Iraq.
portfolioThe Small Town Police Force Behind the Viral Photo of an Overdose
The Small Town Police Force Behind the Viral Photo of an Overdose
Their interest in this subject was sparked by a dramatic event – a suicide bomb attack that shocked a Coptic Christian Mass in Alexandria, Egypt, on New Year's Eve 2011. After the news made headlines, it quickly faded from broader media attention, prompting Dorigo and Milluzzi to start their project.
The result is Rifugio - Christians of the Middle East, a black-and-white photobook and journalistic reportage that documents their project chronicling the life of Christian communities in nine countries – Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Milluzzi's essays and Dorigo's photographs complement each other seamlessly, grouped into six chapters, describing what they say is the burdensome and often heart-rending plight that these minorities endure. Dorigo's subtle but eloquent photographs – often blurry, elusive, at time dramatic – capture both joyful moments and oppressions encountered, illustrating a reality suspended between the cultural heritage that these communities embody and their minority nature.
"It has been a discovery, a never-ending discovery really, because surely we began our journey with an idea in mind of what we were going to look for," Dorigo says. "But it is [only] when you travel that you realize that, comparing the reality of each country, that you can't equate Christians in Egypt with Christians in Iran," she adds.
As they toured the area, their research brought them to some of the most remote places in the region, covering events so extraordinary that they seem part of a different era: In the Old City of Jerusalem, they watched the enactment of the Via Crucis staged by Capuchin monks in the streets of the Christian Quarter. In Rojava, in the Syrian Kurdistan, Dorigo photographed the ruins of the last church in Gharduka, which ISIS jihadists bombed. In Iran's west Azerbaijan province, they witnessed the annual Armenian pilgrimage to Saint Thaddeus monastery, a custom dating back to 68 AD. On that occasion, the ancient church became their dwelling.
Planning their trip, Dorigo and Milluzzi avoided hotels and opted for local lodging. "The more you share, the more you are actually able to go deep in what you're documenting," Dorigo says. "We sought the real stories, inside the houses, inside the families."
Some destinations, however, proved difficult to explore. To reach Syria's far east region from its capital, they bypassed ISIS-controlled territories only by returning to Lebanon, flying to Turkey, taking a bus to Iraq and finally entering Syria's east border all in the same day. On another occasion, as Iranian authorities were after them, they left the country in a couple of days (but returned after a few months.)
They gained access to Christian minorities through religious gatherings, local priests or through the encounters in cosmopolitan Beirut. Surprisingly to them, more than once the Muslims themselves introduced the reporters to their Christian neighbors. "That was a beautiful thing," Dorigo says, "and it really testifies that a spirit of friendship and brotherhood does exist, despite being often flattened and even obstructed by a series of propagandistic efforts in the name of a religious conflict."
Linda Dorigo is an independent documentary photojournalist and Andrea Milluzzi is a freelance journalist. They are based both in Italy and in the Middle East. Their latest work, Rifugio - Christians of the Middle East, is published by Schilt Publishing.

Bigg Boss Malayalam Vote
Bigg Boss Tamil Vote
Bigg Boss Telugu Vote
Kajal is emerging as a strong competitor
Anne's activities in 'Bigg Boss Telugu 5' only created a huge fan base in Kajal's favor. Kajal, who was known to be an underperformer all these weeks, turned out to be one of the strongest contestants in recent times, garnering a huge fan following for her.
With the expulsion of Jesse, VJ Sunny, RJ Kajal, Manas, Siri, Shanmukh, Priyanka Singh, anchor Ravi, singer Sri Ramachandra, and Anne Master has joined the race for the title in 'Bigg Boss Telugu 5'.
As Sunday's episode sees another contestant leaving the show, it is reported that Dance Master Anne is the one who will be shown exiting in the upcoming episode, which is hosted by Nagarjuna. Ani, who has proved that she is a strong contender, has to be evicted as voted by the audience.
At least it was expected that Anne would be kicked out of the show this week because she is such a strong player. According to social media trends and buzz, Anne's behavior is the only factor behind his expulsion.
The voting pattern on the official site indicates that Priyanka Singh and Anne are the two contestants who got the least number of votes from the audience. Anyway, Priyanka Singh managed to garner a few more votes, making it clear that Anne is the only one to be evicted from the Bigg Boss Telugu 5 house.
Anne's ill-intentions about some of the players are portrayed in a way that is strange to the viewer. And, her treatment for Kajal is believed to be the main reason behind her homelessness this week. Anne not only called Kajal 'Naagin' but also did weird dance moves to disrespect her. Even when the host tried to talk about the same, Anne repeated the 'Naagin' dance, which created so much negativity for her.
Even during the week-long nomination process, Anne was seen making noises, dancing in such a way that Kajal got hurt. Anne's activities only created a huge fan base in favor of Kajal. Kajal, who was known to be an underperformer all these weeks, turned out to be one of the strongest contestants in recent times, garnering a huge fan following for her.
As per the audience's opinion on social media, VJs Sunny, Manas, and Kajal emerged as the best performers this week. With only eight contestants on the show, the inmates have to fight for their place in the coming weeks.

Flaxman Moalusi Jacob Qoopane, who has just died, always had a palpable ambience of joie de vivre around him - and his extraordinary love for books, authors, literature, and libraries nourished this patina of exaltation.
Qoopane for decades had an astonishing career as a colourful, enterprising journalist, columnist, poet and author of several works. His shorter works were published in dozens of newspapers, magazines, journals and general books.
It is no surprise that news of his passing continues to shock the world, with the literary fraternity rocked and devastated. Ishmael Mzwandile Soqaga, the well known literary critic reacted spontaneously: "So Flaxman has departed this world? I am crying now with poignant sorrow...he certainly played his part. Africa must celebrate this important literary figure,"
Charmaine Kolwane Mrwebi, the avant-garde poet, literary activist and publisher, was more philosophical. "Our Literary Father is Resting, Father of Letters...We are Praying for his Family" she said.
Nthabiseng Jah Rose Jafta, fecund poet and Creative Writing Mentor/Facilitator, said: "It is really sad. Ntate Qoopane was there for us since we were very young. We remain eternally grateful,"
Raphael Mokoena, another literary critic, averred: "Qoopane contributed prodigiously to African writing in particular. He unearthed, introduced, wrote about countless writers and poets over the years. He was a celebrated poet. He published many books of different genres: biographies, essays, criticism, general profiles, and epistolary"
Indeed, many of Qoopane's published books have been internationally digitised by lofty universities/literary centres. Flaxman also orchestrated the Qoopane Literary Gallery whose magnificent contents should now be taken over and preserved by the powers that be, as part of his sterling legacy.
Two years ago, Qoopane turned 60, and as part of the events marking the occasion, Charmaine Kolwane put together a book of essays, poems, articles, critiques etc all celebrating the remarkable Flaxman Qoopane (FATHER OF LETTERS). Literary pundits are now calling for the book to be stocked in every conceivable library. "Our people - new generations - must read about this man whose life celebrated books and literacy" a tearful Soqaga stressed.
A loss as saddening as it is chastening. RIP, Sir Qoopane.
I found myself crying like a baby when I read this. I have a blog on books, and Pa Qoopane was "Mr Books" himself.
We really didn't wait for this sad moment of passing of one of the legend of literature Mr Qoopane. We were hoping that he will be fine and continue to do what he love. But we will continue to learn from his wealthy legacy.
Heaven is definitely richer with you there Mr Qopane. In life we loved him dearly and in death we love him still. In our heartshe hold a place,no one else will ever fill. Death be not proud. Rest in peace Father of letters we will see you in the morning.
Thank you for this 'Tribute' article Malome.
Hoping his wife and kids wil find comfort and indeed SA and the continent.
Will remember his flamboyant laughter and loudness. But mostly his journalistic charisma and vibrancy. We can draw so much from his work ethic.
Rest in literary peace Ntate Qoopane.
The thing is, everybody agrees how much the late Mr Qoopane loved books. It is legendary, from his youth, his days in exile, and back at home. He even started a wonderful world class literary gallery. Such a man is so rare that we can use tbe word unique to describe him. It is also agreed by all that he should be celebrated, his legacy made somewhat permanent.
A superb professional tribute, apparently almost detached. The inevitable swamping sentiments are transposed onto other protagonists here. Good to see full list of the great man's major published works here.
It is a pity, when an important writer dies society becomes diminished. It is obvious that Mr Qoopane was a distinguished man of letters. It is a painful loss for Africa as a whole.
My last encounter with him in Bloemfontein was very interesting as he spoke about working together on a project but sadly time beat us to it.
What a gentleman he was, filled with humility and energy.
I was hoping that one day we could have a second edition of his book on the Perspectives on your literary work. A comprehensive voyage to your work from a legendary writer perspective.
Great tribute Chief Seye. It is too shocking and sad to learn about the demise of Flaxman Qoopane the genuine prominent African writer. Although it is too difficult to express the pain and sadness one feels however I am very encouraged by many comments on O. Bolaji tribute to Flaxman Qoopane. Flaxman Qoopane was a true warrior of grassroots literature; I am very pleased to know him personally, converse and to read his books is again another enchanting thing to remember-great man indeed.
